Over the past 40years, I have been collecting and restoring wooden cabinet
table-top and console radios from the (Pictured is the German
"Volksempfanger")1920's and 40's; specializing in AC powered BC (Broadcast
Band) and SW (Short Wave) sets (although there are a few Bakelite sets).
Much of my extensive collection is restored but there are a few that need
cosmetic and electronic work languishing on the "IN" shelf. Some of these
units have featured as back-drops in on-stage or film productions, so yes I
do hire-out some models.
Did you know that most older speakers are built better and are higher
quality than speakers today?
Many people have been brainwashed by salesmen into thinking their current
speakers just won't sound as good as new speakers. Don't believe the hype!
This is just not true. After I repair your speakers, they will sound exactly
like they did when they were new, and better than most new speakers you can
buy today. You know better than anyone how great your speakers sounded when
they were new right.
Foam deterioration is the most common problem with hi-fi and home stereo
speakers. The foam edge (or foam surround) wears out and deteriorates after
10-15 years. I can replace this foam piece and make your speakers sound just
like new! This process is called "Re-Edging" (or "Re-Foaming"). The price
for Re-Edging is a fraction of what it costs to buy new speakers.
Otherwise if you need more info give me a call on (02) 99585111 I am located
